Jeffrey Degn, 37, was found dead in the Crow River Sunday, according to McLeod county authorities.

A caller tipped off rescuers after reportedly seeing a red jacket floating down the river near Tartan Park. Degn was identified by his driver's license.

Degn fell into the river Tuesday, according to a witness.

The extensive rescue search involved sonar gear from Hennepin County. Boats and helicopters were used to try to find Degn this past week. Cadaver dogs were also used along the river to find Degn.
